Bari Weiss appoints editor viewed as pro-Israel in latest CBS News shakeup
- Raice named foreign editor to lead CBS’s international coverage from London in a newly created role.
- The appointment follows Bari Weiss’s broader overhaul of CBS News amid staff pushback and morale concerns.
- Raice’s perceived pro-Israel stance at The Journal is cited as a source of tension for some colleagues.
- Raice previously served as deputy bureau chief for the Middle East and North Africa, based in Israel.
- Paramount owns CBS and announced the hire on Wednesday as part of a leadership shakeup.
- Raice will move to London to oversee international coverage in the new role.
- Weiss described Raice in a social post as a 'scoophound reporter, a brilliant editor, and a clear-eyed leader'.
- The Guardian notes Raice’s sister-in-law is a West Bank settler, though Journal leadership found no conflict.

- The shift follows Weiss’s Zionist stance and prior leadership changes at CBS News.
